Ronnie's Backyard Farm

27/09/2026

Mekus-mekus na ang Azolla, darak, mais at fermented vegetables para sa ating mga alaga. Dahil dumadami na rin ang Azolla natin, mas lalo nating nababawasan ang gastos sa pakain. Backyard farming talaga—kung may sariling source ng feeds, malaking tulong sa budget.

Baka bago mag-Pasko, panahon na rin para magbawas tayo ng mga alaga. Kung may bibili, ibebenta natin ang iba; kung wala, baka sariling consumption na lang. Simple, practical at tipid na backyard farming.

English:
Our Azolla, rice bran, corn, and fermented vegetables are now being mixed together as part of our homemade feed system. With Azolla becoming more abundant, we're able to reduce our feeding costs even further.

Before Christmas, we may also start reducing the number of chickens. If there are buyers, some may be sold; otherwise, we may simply keep them for our own consumption. Simple, practical and budget-friendly backyard farming.

Mekus-mekus na talaga ang ating homemade feed. Pinagsasama natin ang Azolla, darak, mais at fermented veggies para magkaroon ng mas affordable na dagdag sa regular na pakain. Since dumadami na ang Azolla natin, malaking bagay siya para mabawasan ang gastos sa feeds. Hindi man totally libre ang lahat, malaking tipid kapag may sariling source tayo sa backyard.

At dahil gusto na rin nating maging mas manageable ang ating backyard farm, baka bago mag-Pasko ay magbawas na tayo ng mga alaga. Kung may interested bumili, okay; kung wala, possible na sariling consumption na lang. Ang importante, mas sustainable at mas practical ang setup natin.
